Bio: 

I’m Oliver, a Software Developer and Consultant with 16 years of professional Drupal development experience.

I’m an Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Expert who has worked on Drupal.org for the Drupal Association, spoken and mentored at DrupalCons and DrupalCamps, and maintain several popular Drupal modules and themes.

I organise the PHP South Wales user group and present talks and workshops at other user groups and conferences.

I write and contribute to open-source code, including Drupal core. You can see my projects and contributions on my Drupal.org and GitHub profiles.
